Restructuring

During the first quarter 2016, the Company exited from its Colorado office in order to consolidate facility space and reduced headcount in its RF Solutions segment related to both operations for services and engineering for products.  The restructuring liability at March 31, 2017 included the remaining obligations under the lease, net of an assumption for proceeds for a sublease.  The Company expects to sublease the office space in the second quarter 2017.  Of the $0.2 million restructuring liability at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0.1 million was included in accrued liabilities and $0.1 million was included in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.                

The following table summarizes the restructuring activity during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the status of the reserves at March 31, 2017:
